In his new book, How to AI, Wall Street Journal tech columnist Christopher Mims offers a guide for getting the most out of the technology.

He's compiled two dozen laws of AI to shed light on the best ways to use these generative tools.

Let's talk some more about some of the examples that you cite in the book of how specific companies are successfully using AI.

And they also used AI as kind of a brainstorming tool to come up with a new product, the toilet bomb.

How did that happen?
